N1  - Violence takes many forms. From largescale acts of terrorism to assaults on single individuals, violence is a defining force in shaping human experience and a central theme in anthropological study. 

Violence: Ethnographic Encounters presents a set of vivid firsthand accounts of fieldwork experiences of violence. The examples range across Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and illustrate instances of state terror, insurgency, communal violence, war, prison violence, class conflict, security measures, and sexual violence. 

How do these anthropologists come to know a place through such violent experience? Why do they not leave such scenes? What insights follow from such experience? Violence: Ethnographic Encounters offers readers a broad anthropological study of violence through personal encounters
